A MATCHA WHISK is a perfect tool for preparing the much loved, delicious and healthy matcha tea. The whisk is constructed by hand splitting a single piece of bamboo which is a delicate operation and only is a job for the seasoned professional. A matcha whisker is a delicate tool and can last a very long time if cared for properly. That’s why a handmade matcha whisk holder is essential for storing and caring for your matcha whisk holders. Matcha whisk holders are specifically designed and shaped to maintain the integrity and shape of the matcha whisk and are also used for storing and drying.
Matcha first came to prominence in China during the Song Dynasty where steamed green tea was prepared by whipping the tea into a powder in a bowl. This method was later adopted by the Zen Buddhist who were performing tea ceremonies. In 1191 these methods were introduced to Japanese culture by a monk who went by the name of Eisai. Matcha has grown in popularity since it is being consumed widely by eastern and western cultures.
Matcha is prepared by whisking the matcha powder in hot water vigorously with a matcha whisk. A matcha whisk is also known as a chasen and the bowl is called a chawan. The whisk process is important as it is a means of infusing the powder into the water and provides depth of flavour and helps release all the nutrients. The whisk is cleaned and it is necessary to store the matcha whisk in a matcha whisk holder.
Cleaning you matcha whisk is necessary to prevent it from decay and mold growth. To clean your matcha whisk simply fill your chawan with warm water and soak for a minute. Then start whisking as if you were preparing a bowl of matcha. The whisk should then be placed on the matcha whisk holder so it dries thoroughly and retains shape. After your matcha whisk is completely dry store it away from direct sunlight on the matcha whisk holder. The matcha whisk holder and the matcha whisk are a beautiful addition to the kitchen and enhance your matcha drinking experience tenfold.
